Ever heard of the 80/20 rule?
It’s alive and well in the Outdoor Living space. 80% of the jobs are going to 20% of the contractors – leaving the majority of companies to fight for the scraps. Sound harsh? Maybe… but it’s true.
Even with the help of “expert” marketing companies, why do so many struggle?
We’re guessing you’ve been down this path before – looking for help from a generalist marketing partner, only to be left disappointed.
Here’s the thing… what works for dentists, lawyers, or HVAC contractors doesn’t translate well to the outdoor living space. It’s a completely different sell.
Here’s another way of looking at this. My son is a high-school wrestler and recently suffered a season-ending injury to his shoulder which required surgery. Did we take him to his pediatrician and expect results? No way. My wife and I researched the best orthopedic shoulder specialist we could find in Central Florida (his name is Dr. Craig Mintzer by the way 😊) and could not have been more satisfied with the results.
Backyard Retreat Marketing is the “Dr. Mintzer” for outdoor living contractors.
We offer a SPECIALIZED and PROVEN path to DOMINATE your local market.

“I worked with Backyard Retreat Marketing to establish a fresh brand, website and gain online traction for my company. As a luxury builder, it was important that our brand and web presence reflected our uncompromising quality, and without hesitation, I would say it does.
The team at BRM are true experts in this space, but what I appreciated most was that they took time to really understand my needs, talk to me as a business owner, and tailor a marketing program that delivers results. There are lots of marketing folks out there, but you’re not going to find a more client-focused and honest team of people than BRM. Do your business a favor and hire them, They’re worth every penny”

The Ultimate Online Marketing Checklist for Outdoor Living Contractors.
It can be tremendously frustrating trying to figure out how to get more calls & leads from the Internet with so many different approaches (SEO, PPC, Social Media, Pay-Per-Lead) and various providers calling you every day offering you the next best thing (YellowPages, DexKnows, Angie’s List, ReachLocal). What do you do, what order do you do it in, and who do you trust?
After countless hours of testing different strategies, optimizing over time, and analyzing results for our clients, we have discovered the key elements of a successful Internet marketing strategy and we’ve boiled it down to a simple checklist. This checklist will help you identify what is missing from your current strategy and what you must focus on next to take your company to the next level.
